ByeBye Tsakalidis
The Grizzlies traded Jake Tsakalidis for Scott Padgett.
Besides a brief stint at the end of last season where Tsakalidis strung together several double-double performances, Jake has been a disappointment. He was supposed to be the big body that would provide rebounding, defensive, and muscle next to Gasol. His biggest contribution this season is that his 3 million dollar contract expires this season.
Padgett won't make much of a contribution either. He's a poor man's Brian Cardinal. My friend, Curt's reaction highlights the impact Padgett will make. When Curt learned that Padgett was becoming a Grizzly, he was excited...until my friend Jordan pointed out that Scott Padgett and Scott Pollard aren't the same player.
I can only hope Padgett's contract also comes off the books this year...

Who cares who the Grizz got in return...
SLOTH IS GONE!!!!!
You have to admit getting the trade exception is a nice positive.
Are we going to see any more trades coming our way in the next 25 hours?
If anything, it will be a small deal to move Stoudemire, Swift, or Cardinal. Atkins or Jones could be thrown in as sweeteners.
The best I'd expected in return is a draft pick. More likely we'd get someone younger or with a shorter contract who isn't any better than those that we'd give up.
